To the right of where I sit, is my boss, the son of one of the Managing Directors of this company.
100% of the gigs I've ever had working for a child of the founder were absolute hell. Looks like you're there, too. Run, don't walk, in the other direction!
Now I'm not saying that all children of founders are like this, just that it's my overwhelming experience. I don't know why this is, but I have many guesses. Perhaps they feel entitled, as if they actually built the business. Perhaps they have stunted social skills because they never needed them. Perhaps they feel superior to everyone else because they landed in a pot of gold having earned it only by being born.
You are not the problem. Your situation is. If your work is good, it's because he thought of it. If it's not, it's because you suck. You can't win. Get out.
Once you're in a more normal environment, two things will happen: you'll feel much better and you'll wonder why you took so long to do it.
- throwaway_burn 16y agoI would like to point out that in this case, (not that I'm trying to sound overly supportive of the guy, but it's not that I hate him either), his dad fired him THREE times whilst working for him. His dad only hired him back after he had gone out and made something of himself (selling his own business for lots of money).
- shimon 16y agoYou still sound overly supportive of the guy. His dad actually hired him back at least twice before he had made something of himself.
